Kelly and family,
Words escape me at a time like this. I don’t know that we are meant to understand from this side of heaven…but someday, when you are reunited with sweet and perfect baby John, everything will be fully known. May you find rest and peace in the arms of the Father, as I know John has. Let others minister to you as God has called them during this time of loss and grief. I will be lifting you up in prayer.
I love you,

I cannot begin to put in words my sorrow for your family in the loss of your sweet child. I have been inspired by your faithfulness through this journey. I feel certain that it is your faith which will carry you in the midst of this tragedy. As you have spoken, precious John has gone home to be safely in His Father’s arms and free from pain and suffering. I praise God for His mercy and grace. I pray for you to feel the peace and comfort that transcends all understanding which can only come from our Savior during such a difficult time. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you!
With my deepest sympathy,

We grieve with you, in hope. Thank you so much for your example of faithful love. John and William are not the only ones blessed with your love; all who have read your journal entries, written in blood, sweat, joy, and tears, have also been blessed. And we continue to lift each of you up in prayer. May Christ comfort and strengthen you now more than ever.

I am saddened because I know you’ll miss this precious boy who was entrusted to you for such a short time. Our Lord is holding him close and I pray you feel those comforting arms holding you tightly also. Bianca had our small group praying for all of you for his whole life and we were encouraged by your faithfulness. May you draw even closer to our Lord.

I am was so moved by your son’s story. I can only imagine that God sent such a special angel boy to touch so many lives in such a short time. Wow! God be with all of you because as bitter sweet as this must be; bitter due to not seeing him again; sweet because he is not suffering, it is still a time of grief.
May God hold all of you in His Big Hand and stroke your heads as I know all of you did John’s.
God protect, provide, and bless,
Amen

I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you find it some comfort that, during the time that John was with us, your family’s story touched far more people than you know. Your tremendous faith and love, even in loss, is humbling and inspiring. God’s intentions are beyond my comprehension, but I believe that His glory has been reflected through your family during this journey, and I know that He will continue to walk with you as you deal with this loss. Byron and I will be praying for you, and if there’s absolutely anything (babysitting, cleaing, cooking yardwork, grocery shopping, whatever) we can do to make this time easier for you, please let us know.

I am very sad with the passing of little John and cannot even begin to know the greif you all are feeling. I’ll never forget the first time I met him, peacefully napping on his blanket with big rosey cheeks. Please let me help shoulder whatever unnecessary burdens you all may have pop up as you all focus on eachother and John.

Bill and Kelly –
I am so sorry to hear of John’s passing. Our family went through that about 3-1/2 years ago when my infant nephew Sage passed suddenly. The next few weeks and months will be brutal but I pray that you will eventually find peace with what has happened.
After our family lost Sage, we leaned a lot into Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” It’s hard at this time to imagine what “good” can come from what your family has gone through the last seven months, but I have no doubt that your family will let God lead you to what His plan is for the rest of your lives; and that when He is ready to reveal it, you will understand why you have had to endure this and will use this experience to be even more potent witnesses to those who do not yet know Him.
Just know that all of us here admire the strength and faith you have shown during this tremendous adversity, and that we’re all praying for you.

Dear Bill, Kelly & William,
My heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Heaven is a brighter place to have a beautiful angel like John, and we will all miss him dearly. In the few times that I had the privelege of watching over him, he touched my heart… as I know he has touched all of you so deeply. Please know that my family is thinking and praying for you all. May God give you exactly what you need to heal and be comforted.
Please let us know what we can do to help you in this difficult time. You are a beautiful, amazing family and have been an inspiration to us all.

I would just like to pass along my deepest condolences for your loss. I cannot fathom the hurt your family is currently enduring, but the strength you have all shown over the past 7 months will hopefully help you endure. You have all been so inspiring to everyone here at TPPF and we will all miss John, but we will never forget the impact and inspiration he has provided us since his birth.
If there is anything I can do to assist you through this time, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Dear Bill, Kelly, and William,
Although we rejoice to know that baby John is before his heavenly father without seizures, we are so heartbroken that he is no longer with us, and especially the three of you, here. May the peace of Christ guard your hearts from all evil in the days and weeks to come, and may He encourage your spirits through His hands and feet here. We are praying for each of you, knowing that grief co-mingles with so many emotions as you tread this difficult path.

Dear Bill, Kelly and William,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know this has been such a difficult time for you and Little John, but now his suffering is over and he is with God. Cherish the moments John filled your hearts with joy and, although it seems dark and unfair right now, please remember the good.
Tirelessly, you cared for this frail and innocent gift of God. You stayed on to the path of righteousness and never gave in to the fear and doubt that tempted you, as you traveled a hard, hard road. You stayed true to God. You loved John, as much or more, than anyone has ever loved another; and now, he is a bright, shining star in Heaven. He is an Angel.
